Week after kidnapped, young man killed by Houthis in prison in Sana'a

The Houthi militants and Saleh forces killed a young man in their prison in Sana'a a week after they have kidnapped him from his house , according to a statement released by his family on Wednesday.

In a statement to the attorney general, the family of Waleed Ali Al Ebbi stated that the Houthi militants have killed their son in the prison of the Criminal Intelligence Department, after they have forcibly kidnapped him from his house last Thursday.

The family added that the Houthi group informed them on Tuesday that the dead body of their son was in the hospital mortuary, claiming that their son "has committed suicide by shooting himself on the head by a handgun".

The family has held the Houthi field leader and supervisor in the Criminal Intelligence Department Abu Raed responsible for the death of their son, saying that the Houthi justification that their son committed a suicide is "unreasonable".

"Nobody is allowed to enter the prison with even a pen," added the family.

It is worth to mention that Al Ebbi got married only two and half months ago, and was a teacher of the Holy Quran.
